2nd thoughts after looking at prices of reeds, gaskets and blocks, get a new block.
certainly contributing in a big way, one of your pics show what looks like a split reed with an uneven end, you will lose compression on the...
try all the other circuits with the all starter circuit disconnected, the relay could also be a problem, I only know piaggio wiring but hope it...
have you tried testing the starter motor independent of being on the bike. sounds like its your problem.
before you inspect the reed block try starting to see if the reed block is wet with fuel when you look at the reeds.
take the vaccum pipe off the carb and suck while starting.
you could try creating the vacuum yourself and trying to start the scoot
yeah, could be worth checking the reed block, even if just to rule it out. still a possibility of the carb not creating the vacuum. what model of...
can you make it shut off and turn on with moving the float up and down, if so check to see if there is anything that would obstruct the float,...

I have a dellorto PHVA 17.5 yours looks similar. take your float off and there is a small pointed needle which goes inside the inlet. blast...
your fuel tap has 2 hoses the larger one is the supply the smaller one is the negative pressure, disconnect both hoses from the carb. suck on the...
thought they would be easy to find, strange that no one makes one. though if your engine is like this one.[ATTACH] it looks like you could use a...
I have a similar problem, and turns out to be the regulator, which is supposed to keep the voltage low to the bikes circuits. the thing is you say...
Thanks, first time I have replaced any bearings, I knew this one was going to be a long job so made sure to get a good quality branded bearing and...
I also have a new paperweight :)
full history would be great
agree with compression test, base gasket could be a problem. soapy water for a quick check, if all is good give the carb a service.
[ATTACH] cleaned out the bearing seating, fitted the new oil seal, then fitted the new bearing using much the same method with a large socket...
time for home made bearing puller No.2 to go the rest of the way. [ATTACH] it was already moving so pulled out easily
